Tue, 16 Jul 2013 02:54:51 +0000aracer5159004@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/<p>If we're doing nostalgia, recently I've been riding my '92 vintage Dyna-Tech metal matrix whilst my susser has been out of action - pretty much the same frame as Barry Clarke etc. rode back in the day. It's kitted out with rather modern kit though - 8 speed gears 80mm sus forks and a front disk. Non-compact chainrings though. It rides like a bike.

<p>i have to admit that i never owned/tried any of them,but i have always lusted after all of them. i know that kona have re-issued the explosif now,but it's 27.5" and it doesn't have project two forks.</p>
<p>why the hell don't gt start to do the zaskar again too (the re-issue doesn't count as it was ltd edition)i mean have it back full time in their bike line up (just the frame only,that would be fantastic).</p>
<p>if gary klein also made a comeback (no chance) and made a modern version of his adroit/attitude e.t.c (with disc mounts) up to date aluminium tubing e.t.c but still with the over sized rigid forks and those awesome paint jobs.i would consider selling one of my kidney's to buy one* <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":-)" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> </p>

<p>I'll have you know that my next bike will almost certainly be a 29er, and I'll be putting flat bars and bar ends on it. Mind you, my next bike is probably a long way off.

<p>pretty much a bar, bar end and tri bar combo. Ahead of its time and ugly as sin.

<p>Most of these things are still out there. I think a some people on STW just like to complain about how 'useful things aren't available now' and 'The Industry is forcing us to buy blah blah blah....'.</p>
<p>Try looking for the things you want instead. or do you then risk finding them? And realising that some things are best viewed through rose-tinted lenses.</p>
<p>flex-stems indeed!

<p>I thought so after I posted the link, blame google images, and the point about the bars stands <img src="http://singletrackworld.com/forum/my-plugins/bbcode-buttons/default/icon_biggrin.gif" title=":D" class="bb_smilies" alt=""/> </p>
<p>frame packs have made a come-back thanks to all the long-distance/multi-day events that have taken off. I can see a new version of the Hite Rite working, but the Flexstem was an abomination, unless you like riding with a bike that feels like its broken. The SoftRide cost as much as a sus fork, too. </p>
